Welcome 2011 (Top 10s of 2010)

A new year, a fresh start. I'm going to try and blog as often as I can, I was pretty lazy in the past with this but I've decided to give it a go properly and stick to my 2011 schedule (dun know about my new years resolution schedule) of organising myself and my time more efficiently and productively. It hasn't been a particulaly great start of the year for me to be honest, but I guess thats mostly due to the post festive blues; Yup, we're not lounging around watching pointless television garbage, such as the top 100 Christmas adverts. We're back to the monotony of our regular 9-5's.

Looking back now rather than forward, music from the past year has been phenomenal, with a large handfull of artists yet again pushing the boundaries of newly established hybrids of genres across the board. Seeing as I am starting a new look with this blog, I'll give you the DL on what I plan to write about once a week (hopefully): Hip Hop, House & Dubstep/140bpm (more so the 'post-dubstep', or whatever you want to call it, I'm not so keen on this brostep business thank you). Obviously, it won't be so strict, and I use these genre names to cover a wide variety of different sounds. To give you an idea, I've done a set of top 10's for each (in no particular order):
